Humidification of your cigars thanks to the bags

Posted on: 04/01/2023 | Categories: The accessories

For various reasons you may need to ship cigars or transport them during your vacations for example. And moving a humidor is not necessarily recommended and not very practical. For these cases, there is an ideal solution: humidor bags for cigars. Here is what they are and how to use them.

The revolution in the cigar world: the humidifier bag

Humidifier bags are a backup system for maintaining 72% humidity in a humidor. They ensure a constant rate of humidity in order to preserve your cigars in an optimal way. They maintain the humidity with a margin of +/- 2.5%. Why 72%? Because this is the average humidity level at which cigars should be kept. Some people prefer to obtain a rate of 75%, considering that 72% makes the cigars too dry.

These bags contain water and salt and are placed directly in your humidor. It is a totally natural solution, which does not harm the cigars or the humidor. They can also be inserted in a travel humidor or a humidification bag to amplify the function of this innovative means of transport.

How to use cigar humidor bags

Figuring out how many humidor bags you'll need is pretty simple. You need one bag for your humidor, and then one for every 25 cigars. In other words, if you have 30 cigars in your humidor, you'll need 3 bags: 1 for the humidor, 1 for 15 cigars, and 1 for the other 15.

To work, the humidification bags must be activated. To do this, simply remove the bag from the plastic and slide it into the humidor. Don't forget to remove the humidifier from your cellar, it is no longer needed! You don't have to worry about keeping your volutes, the bags take care of everything!

To go further on cigar humidor bags

To transport your cigars, you can also think about the humidor bag. These come in 3 sizes: the smallest can hold up to 5 cigars, the medium size between 10 and 20 and the largest can hold 1 to 2 boxes, or even more if the cigars are stored without their boxes. The humidity level of the cigar bags is guaranteed for 1 year for the brand Boveda for example thanks to a humidification system contained in the lining of the bag. It is possible to add humidifier bags in the bag if needed, always on the same principle as the humidor.

So, to send cigars to a friend for his birthday or Christmas, to store a surplus while waiting to smoke some cigars from your humidor, to go on vacation anywhere in the world, these cigar bags are the most practical and profitable solution ever imagined.
